alexiisnnguyen 's review for:
Between the World and Me
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
- really made me change my thinking in terms of race and racism, like their relationship and also what they are in terms of abstract rather than established concepts
- the explanation of how white america kind of created race as a more structural concept in order to raise themselves up really makes sense
- as a minority, i try to set myself apart from white people and become better than them, and to do so i have to enter primarily white spaces like the school i'm attending, but the notion of prince jones going to howard as to see others like him and to be "normal" is something i totally understand yet many white people would not because they feel as if aspiring to be them rather than staying within one's ethnic group should be the goal, as they think anything else is below them
